The diameter of Earth is about 12,756 kilometers (km), or about 8000 miles. The Sun is a huge ball of hot hydrogen gas 1,400,000 km (1.4 x 106 km) in diameter (about 1 million miles). Determine the diameter of the foam ball representing your scale model Sun. Its circumference is 31.4 centimeters. (Note: if you need the formula for circumference, see the lab worksheet. The scale in centimeters will be the same as measured for 1 AU in the Solar System and the Milky Way image edge to edge.) **IMPORTANT! For any questions that require you to enter a number, do NOT enter the units (i.e. cm, m, s, mi, etc). You should only enter a number for these questions.
